Educating Rita

Educating Rita

23 Jul 2026 - 25 Jul 2026

"Simply a marvelous play, painfully funny and passionately serious" - Sunday Times Rita, a sharp-witted 26-year-old hairdresser, is hungry for a change. Dissatisfied with the routine of her working-class life, she enrols in an Open University course in English Literature, seeking more than just an educationshe wants choices and the freedom to forge a new path for herself. Enter Frank, a disillusioned academic, failed poet, and dedicated drinker who reluctantly takes her on as a student to pay for his booze. In a series of hilarious and heart-warming tutorials set entirely in Frank's chaotic university office, the two clash and connect, challenging each other's perceptions of class, culture, and life itself. As Rita's raw intelligence blossoms under Frank's cynical guidance, their lives are transformed forever. This modern classic, originally produced by the RSC and adapted into the iconic, multi-award-winning film starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine, remains as powerful and relevant today as it was 40 years ago. Bursting with heart and sharp humour, Educating Rita is a feel-good comedy about the transformative power of knowledge and the belief that its never too late to start again. This production is sponsored by Tomas Kazakevicius (https://www.instagram.com/the.epping.property.consultant/) and Stort Blinds (https://www.stortblinds.co.uk/)
